At the movies, we got a large cup of soda and a large cup of popcorn which we ate to our fill while watching a Korean movie called 'The dude in me'.We laughed like we were long time friends and I enjoyed every bit of it.At intervals, she looked at me laughing and I couldn't help but smile bad.One time in the movie, the male lead called an older woman by her name and Jason's mom told me her real name was 'Mia' and I could call her that if calling her mom was awkward.After that, we went for a second round but the genre was different. Instead of a comedy, we watched a tragic movie where the female lead died and we cried like kids. It felt like I was spending time with Max but Max wasn't a female and Mia's older so it was different.It was kinda overwhelming but cool. I loved it. I enjoyed it.And soon the movie was over and we stood outside while she called her driver over. We hadn't realized that rain was falling while we were watching the movie so it was kinda shocking when we cam
Eve's POV.The next day, I called Max so we could work on my glow up but I had to tell about the stuff with Jason too because he had been bugging me about my so called husband but since Jason doesn't regard me as his wife even if it's fake. I would regard him as one and Max wouldn't tell a soul so I don't have to worry about keeping it a secret.We were going to meet at the Subway fast food joint. So I dressed up in a yellow dress with black polka dots and a black ribbon on my curly hair and black boots. I hurried out of the suite because I just saw a text from Max that he was already outside the place waiting for me and Max doesn't like to wait.It wasn't really far from the hotel so I didn't have to take a cab because that would have taken much time and Max would have swollen up like a burrito. I smiled at my own thoughts until I saw Max standing outside the place waiting for me."If the shrimp sandwich finishes before we get there, I'll skin you alive." Max said in a stern voice an
Jada looked at me with furrowed brows."Aren't you getting up?" He questioned."Why?" I managed to asked despite feeling scared."Oh gosh Max, she's so naive." Jada giggled."I'm not interested in you, I just wanted to check you out." Jada said."No, I didn't think you were interested in me, I was just scared of your tone." I said quietly."Oh sorry, I talk like that when I'm trying to get in the mood." Jada said and i stood up."Turn around." Jada instructed and I did.I was under his scrutinizing look and I couldn't help but feel small. I've never had someone stare at me for so long so I put my head down."Chin up, show some confidence." Jada said with a frown."You're a beautiful black woman, I don't know why you're so nervous and shy." "You should try to be more confident, don't let others look down on you.""The reason why your husband would cheat on you is because you appear too simple." Jada said tapping his hands on his laps as he crossed his legs."You can sit down." He said
Jason's POV.The sun was still up and I could guess it was late in the afternoon. This meeting has been on for a while but I could only focus on one thing. No!, One person. And rather than focused, I was distracted by the thoughts of my so called wife.While she's gallivanting up and down with a man, I'm here trying to keep the company running. She even spoke back to me the other day, did that man ask her to talk back to me?Come to think of it, I don't even know anything about her. That greedy woman, did she have a boyfriend and agree to marry me because of my money? Did she know about me before? Is this a way to dupe me?, Is she and that man in cahoots to steal from me?No, judging from his car, he looks rich enough so I don't think it's the money, then is she a cheat?, Does he know she's cheating on him?I slammed my hands on the table forgetting that I was in a meeting and startling the members of my team."Sir, are you perhaps not satisfied with the percentage?" The team leader
Alice's POV.I walked into the club where I was supposed to meet up with my othe friends. I saw there sitting at a round table and then Stella saw me and she screamed my name while waving her hands."Can't you try to act like a cultured person?" I said as I sat down beside them."Well, sorry for being uncultured." Stella smiled but her smile soon faltered as she saw that I was not smiling back."What's the problem?" "Why do you look like they stole something from you?" Stella asked in concern."Can't you tell?, She's still not over Jason and he's married now." Rose another friend of mine said laughing mockingly."She's not his wife." I snapped."Of course she is, they did a small wedding and even signed in court." Puhle another friend of mine said."Get over this guy Alice, he doesn't even consider you wife material, if she is really a wife on paper then he could have given it to you since you guys are intimate but he didn't think you were worthy." Puhle adviced."Worthy?" Rose laugh
Eve's POV.I returned to the hotel suite after seeing Jason making out with his mistress. To be honest, it hurt to see him like that but it only showed that he doesn't respect me at all. The girl even said she was his girlfriend, if he had a girlfriend then why did he choose to marry me? Is it because I'm not up to the standards that society has made? Rich people can be so annoying sometimes. But i wasn't going to let myself be bothered. If I get affected by this now, I'll be losing and I don't want to lose. I may be young but I'm no pushover. I may be poor and slow like a snail but one great attribute of a snail is perseverance and I will stick to this until I conquer.Okay, maybe that's a little bit too much to say. Conquer? It's not a war.Jason's mom wants us to come home to stay with her and grandma Nini. She likes me and as Jada said; the key to a man's heart is through his mother.I don't know when I fell asleep on the couch but I woke up to the sound of the door opening and th
Jason's POV.Few hours ago.I returned to the hotel suite and did my victory dance as I walked inside. I was still dancing when I heard someone clear their throat. Turns out Eve was still awake and she sat down looking at me with me with wide eyes. I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, no one had ever seen me this way and I always made sure to never show anyone my easy going side but here she was staring at me as if she could read into my soul."Why are you on the couch?" I snapped as soon as I regained my composure. We exchanged a few words and in the blink of an eye, she was inside the room.I couldn't help but wonder, was the gift too small? Did she want something else? Why did she reject the first gift I got for her and why am I bothered?I went into my room and sent recieved a text from my mom."You didn't even call to ask where I am, aren't you worried about your mother?" The text read and I couldn't help but smirk. I thought she was ready to disown me. But before I could
Alice.The sun was up in the sky and the weather was cool. A perfect day to go out but what happened two days ago was still bugging me and I couldn't help but worry.My older brother Mark had showed up into my house unannounced. He was always causing trouble for my parents but the last straw that led my family to disown him was what happened some time ago and I never saw him seen there. It's been a year and now he's back and he wants me to help him.And most of all, he knows about my secret visit to those thugs and my intention to hurt Jason's wife.FlashbackI saw the silhouette of a man in my house and when he got closer I knew who he was. Someone familiar. Someone I didn't expect to see. My brother."What are you doing here?" I asked in fear."I thought you'll be glad to see me." He smirked."And why the hell would I be glad to see you?,I thought you left the country." I said quietly."You see that's the problem, you always think." He smiled and i scoffed."Just tell me what you wa
